At least in the U.S., I get the sense that people increasingly rely on streaming services rather than broadcast/cable TV. So for many of us, what really matters (I think) is that we're able to access Crunchyroll and (for now) Funimation.
My point is simply that I suspect fewer and fewer people (at least in the U.S.) are limited by what's available via public broadcast.
That is why I specified "any public media".
I know maybe 1 or 2 people who once told me they watch anime, and that's it. Never ever hear about it in any conversation.
